Good course for the money. 30$ each w cart. Some greens poor. Most ok. Faiways have potholes. Needs a nice paved cart path throughout. Signage to next hole poor. Tee boxes need work w grass. Course could be excellent again with TLC Looks tired, not broken.

Slow group

Dont think ill ever play this course again. Went out and sailed through first eight holes with no problems then hit a brick wall. Threesomes and foursomes barely moving. Decided i didnt have time fore a 5 hour round so i skipped about 4 holes and passed the group that was slowing everyone down. All smoking swisher sweets and drinking some kind of cognac.. No ranger on duty. I went and played 4 holes on front 9 while they played 1 hole(18) ill miss it but wont play it again.

Not Bad, but not great either

Played this course many times over the last 30 years, always enjoy it. Greens and tee box were in respectable shape, but many fairways were in really rough shape, not totally anyones fault, been extremely dry this summer.

Slow on a Tuesday morning.

Don’t put signs up that say 4 hour pace if you don’t mean it.

They let someone jump in front of us on the back 9. And then when I asked if they started on the back they called me a cry baby and some obscenities. The ranger did not kick off the disruptive guests as their sign says.

rough shape

Why have sand traps if there never maintained? A pond on the tenth green with several geese having a party. With just a little more effort this could be a nice course. sad.
